Storage and Show Space


 

STORAGE SPACE

Central Stores has storage space that is heated, dry, and secure. Document storage is the most common type of storage. Feel secure knowing your documents are on campus and easily accessible when you need them. Access is available during normal business hours.

We can accommodate storage of items that can be safely kept on a pallet. A pallet is 40" wide by 48" deep by 48" high. It will hold 30-40 transfer files or copy paper boxes. The boxes are stacked on top of each other and the entire unit is shrink-wrapped. The cost is $7.00 a pallet per month with a minimum requirement of 6 months storage. Or $84.00 a year for the equivalent of three (3) 5-drawer file cabinets.

Reserve Storage Space / Request Pickup

Documents for storage must be boxed, sealed, and labeled with the department name, phone, and contact person. To reserve storage space for your department and to request pickup of your storage items, complete and submit the Storage Pickup Form.

Access to Your Storage Items

Access to your storage items is available during normal business hours. To request access to your items already stored with us, please complete and submit the Storage Access Form at least a day before you require access. If you have questions about this, please call 486-6297.

Departments Keep Track of Storage

Departments are required to keep track of their stored items. Central Stores does not inform customers of material that is outdated or forgotten. To dispose of stored items or to close out a storage location, send an e-mail to steven.marrotte@uconn.edu.

SHOW SPACE

The Central Warehouse has space well suited for vendor product shows and departmental information seminars. Vendors find our facility ideal for setting up and demonstrating equipment of all types, shapes, and sizes. We have several multi-height docks and a ramp to access the show area. With the addition of electrical outlets in the show area, a wide variety of vendors and manufacturers are accommodated.

Our location behind the Police Department is very convenient. The Central Warehouse is close to the North Parking Garage, near the campus core, and is easily accessible to facilities and purchasing personnel.

Show Space Rental Fee

The rental fee is $500 for a single day event held during normal business hours. It includes set up and take down of tables and chairs —up to 60 tables and 120 chairs. Additional tables and chairs are available at a nominal cost. The fee includes, if necessary, access to the area the afternoon before the event is to take place.

Publicity and Refreshments

Publicity for your event may be coordinated with the Document Production Center located in the Central Warehouse building. If you wish to provide refreshments, University Catering can satisfy your culinary requirements, and they have table cloths and table skirts available.
